Edited to add I disagree that the "re-make" needs to "duplicate" the original. That's what tribute bands are for. The cover should honor the original with a different, creative interpretation.

He said "remake." I don't know what would make you think he didn't mean it.

You know, besides the fact that the one example he gave was an old song that was merely sampled by another artist.

You expend a lot of energy being you don't you. :poke

I don't think it was too difficult to get the point cover, remake sample etc. While not PE biggest fan they SAMPLED the song very very well, with an interesting message much like the interesting message of the times from the original.

Which is why I stated to base it on one of a few things. Some artist just duplicate a song and if they do it right it sounds great. Others add their own style or sound to the exact same song and it works and yet others just take bits and pieces of a song and make it work in another way, as bowow so quickly pointed out.

I personally like samplings if the new song has a message or a great sound, it is when the new song doesn't have a good message or has a lame sound when I hate sampling artists.

Galley Boys are slop on top of a so-so burger and a bun you coulde get from a Covneninet food mart generic pack. They the Antoine Joubert of burgers; soft, sloppy, oozing grease and cheap sauce and extremely overrated by a biased fan base. Proof that if you throw enough cheap sauce shit on a burger you still can't overcome the lame burger. -JB
